very worried

my newborn is almost 2 weeks old and i have been breastfeeding him. at first he was only pooping once a day, and then he started pooing 3 times, and now its been a day since he has pooped. he kept me up all night wanting to eat almost every 30 minutes..wats going on? should i be worried? do i need to take him to the doctors?

Don't worry, my son did the same thing. I felt like the first month all I did was bf every 3o minutes or so and at 2 weeks it felt like more.. As for the pooping, bf babies can go days with out having one and still be normal. They can also have one daily or a small one with every diaper change.. still normal. As long as he is wetting enough diaper and not have hard stool when he does have a BM and not in any pain.. He is fine.
